Description

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Brothers, 1938). Title
Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the greatest swashbuckling adventure films ever produced,
this rousing epic has it all: action, romance, humor, adventure, a
great cast, lavish costumes, gorgeous Technicolor, a solid script,
and some of the best performances in the careers of stars Errol
Flynn, Olivia DeHaviland, Claude Rains, and Basil Rathbone, not to
mention such stalwart character actors as Alan Hale, Eugene
Pallette, Una O'Connor, and Herbert Mundin. Originally, James
Cagney was slated to play the outlawed Earl of Locksley, but as
great as Cagney was, Flynn's performance in this career-defining
role is so strong, it's almost impossible to imagine anyone else
donning the Lincoln green tights. At the time of its release, this
was the most expensive film Warner Brothers had yet produced,
costing a then-staggering $2 million. Fortunately, virtually every
dime ended up on the screen, as this is one of the most lavish,
sumptuous movies in Hollywood history. Not surprisingly, paper from
this title is extremely popular with collectors, and bidding wars
are common when prime pieces come to the auction block. Offered
here is a remarkable, linen finish title card for this great film.
It had pinholes in the border and the field, a top left corner
bend, corner bumps, and a minor tear in the right border, but after
expert professional restoration, these flaws are virtually
invisible. If you're looking for the perfect piece from this
classic film, you need look no further. Very Fine-.
